Security outfit Sophos is seeing significant worldwide growth of MSP Connect, its programme for managed service providers (MSPs).
Sophos VP Scott Barlow said: “MSPs are also increasingly finding themselves under attack through remote monitoring and management (RMM) and professional service automation (PSA) tools, misconfigured firewalls and endpoints, and targeted phishing scams. “Channel partners have a tremendous opportunity to secure organisations from complex ransomware, like the recent Maze, WastedLocker and Dharma attacks, and other threats – including this year’s surge in attack campaigns preying on mounting Coronavirus fears.”
Sophos MSP Connect now supports over 12,500 global and regional MSPs worldwide, representing what it says is a 30 percent increase since the start of Sophos’ fiscal year in April 2020. MSP billings also increased 56 percent during that time, with the most significant growth in the Americas, Western Europe, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
